Have used the Nissan Ester since June 2009 when I purchased, but its rather pricey so probably not what you are looking for.

Redline 5W-30. $10 per qt. delivered to your door when ordered by the case from Amazon.com. A Mobil 1 110 filter or a Purolator Pure One. Change the oil yourself. You'll know it was done right. The VQ37 is a high strung, hot running sports car engine. Spend a few extra bucks and use the best.
The Pennzoil Platinum and Pennoil Ultra is also getting good reports with the VQ35 and VQ37 engines and it's a bit less expensive. |
redline 5w-30 and K&N filter here.

For those using Redline, have you experienced any decrease in oil temps? |
Shell Rotella 5W-40 here. German Castrol for the STI. RP

My Z is just shy of 10K miles on the odometer. I have been running the Redline 5W-30 oil since the 5K mark. I have not seen a noticeable difference in the oil temps but it never exceeded about 235-240 in spirited driving even with less than 5K on the engine. I don't think a valid opinion could be drawn regarding the oil and temps until car had a lot more than 10K miles on it. Many report that as the engines break in, temps drop a little.

thx guys....

Castrol Syntec 0w-30 "German Castrol" seems to run really well in my Z. I'm on my 3rd fill of it, the first two looked great in the UOA results.
|
x2 on the German Castrol. Really good stuff. I also highly recommend the NAPA Gold or Purolater Pure One filter. I go with the NAPA generally since my local store has filters 50% on every Friday.

I have used Amsoil with Mobil 1 Oil filters and AmsOil filters in my previous cars...will do the same with the 370z
|
I have had Ester and Royal Purple in mine..
I noticed no improvements in anything with RP so I went back to Ester.. with Puralotor Pro 1 filter.. |

I have been using Mobil 1 since it came out. I swear by it. There was an article somewhere that said Mobil looked at Ester oil and determined it was a high quality synthetic not unlike theirs. |
